    I had this problem because my graphics card isn't receiving driver updates anymore, so it's stuck on 21.9. This registry fix worked for me to get the game started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umkis3cXSnY

    As with all youtube fixes, If you follow that guide exactly you should be ok, but I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong.

    Also, with the driver versions, it helps to think of that second number as a decimal, so your driver version is actually 21.09 and the game wants 21.20

    Hope this helps

    Nice work around!!!

    This got me into the game.

    Thank you!

    I see now how they needed to confuse the numbering system.

    But thanks for showing me that all my teachers throughout my education didn't know how to count. LOL

    Thanks again

    Have a Good Life
